For Me the most exciting part about collecting is "The thrill of the Hunt" and finally completing a set to my satisfaction.
It IS a bit of a sad moment when you place the last required coin in a set But The absolute Beauty with coins is there are SO MANY sets to achieve, NOT only Australian either and the thrill will never end.
Happy Hunting My friends , and may your Gods be with you in your quests:yahoo:
Aim well to enjoy life. You only get One shot at it.

:agreed:
I also enjoy the learning aspect but generally only about what tickles me. Yep, seeking out and swooping on that desired item does get the pulse going.
As we age we lose three things, one is our memory and arrrrr I've forgotten the other two!

Sniping a bargain on ebay gives me a bit of a rush .Sometimes it's just too easy but
it can be frustrating when you are the bridesmaid which happens all too often
It\'s not about who you know it\'s about what you know

Sometimes you are lucky to be the bride and sometimes you are lucky to be the bridesmaid.
Won 2 shillings on Sunday. 1942M and 1955. About 65 each. The '42 will likely slab as a MS63:yahoo: and the '55 is about a MS65.... except the obverse had been wiped and has hairlines:cray:
It works out financially but still the '55 was so close to wedded bliss.

Its a buyers market at the moment.
The real surprise to me is how many choice coins go almost un-noticed and uncontested.
You have got to be willing to take a bit of a gamble though.
Sometime you lose and sometimes you win.

I find if it's not a key date, I'm only really up against 2 or 3 of the same bidders each time.

However, there are other times when I go maybe a bit harder and get outbid by an ID I don't know, and I wonder if i missed something..
